Blago's impeachment

Blago's impeachment this week is the most unlawful thing in this scandal to-date. How could the legislature impeach him when the prosecutor himself has not completed his investigation - which means the legislature does not have the evidence on hand.

Next, there is the case of the prosecutor himself. Mr. Fitzerald is one of those ambitious prosecutors who has shown great disrespect for the law. As we have seen in Mr. Libby's case he has hidden evidence and prosecuted for the most frivolous "crimes" of not remembering the exact words used in a conversation more than 2 years before.

And now in Blago's case, he went before the media very early in his investigation. And the media loved it. And many, many bloggers jumped on the bandwagon. But where is the evidence of the crime. As far as I know, it is under wraps. And the prosecutor himself has requested more time to finish his investigation.

So, how could the Illinois legislature impeach him? Don't you need evidence. I think in order to "appear" to be doing something, the politicians are performing the most "unlawful" act.

And then there is Harry Reid. The man has no shame. If the appointment of Mr. Burris is tainted, then why not go for a special election. But of course, they are scared that Republicans would win that seat.

Is Blago the only one 'lawful' in this scandal so far?
